Three new useful Energy Tools and Platforms in the pipeline for 2017 and 2018, powered by ADENE

“Poupa Energia” platform – the Energy Supplier Switching Operator platform will allow consumers to access, in an easy, independent, transparent and personalized way, to information regarding the energy offers in the electricity and natural gas markets, aiming to simplify their choices and assuring a smooth transition between energy suppliers. Small and medium enterprises and other organizations with electric consumption under 20,70 kVA (standard low voltage – BTN) will have a specific simulator to choose the best energy supplier and have access to information on energy efficiency, in order to reduce their energy bill;

CINERGIA, the Energy Information Centre – will provide citizens a wide and integrated vision of the energy sector, from production to transport, storage and consumption, critically contributing to the energy literacy of the civil society;

Energy Observatory – aims at collecting, analyzing and make available, data on the energy sector, namely indicators and statistics, which will contribute to the evaluation of the public policies in the energy sector.
